Beverly Winter Parking Details

BEVERLY, MA – The City of Beverly invokes an emergency parking ban whenever snow or ice is in the forecast. During every emergency parking ban, no parking on any street is allowed.

Parking bans are declared when the blue lights at the top of 12 intersections throughout Beverly are flashing. You can also check on the status of an emergency parking ban by calling the snow emergency line at 978-922-2500.

Those that park on the street during snow emergencies will be charged a $50 fine and may be towed.

There are seven municipal lots available during an emergency parking ban:

• Franklin Place and Washington Street (between the two streets)
• Pond Street (behind the former Casa Da Moda)
• Pond Street (at American Legion/Spear Post)
• Briscoe/Hale Street (across from Central Fire Station)
• Congress Street and Summit Avenue (public lot)
• Chapman Street and Federal Street (behind Family Dollar)
• MBTA Garage on Rantoul Street (discounted rate)

During a typical winter, the Department of Public Services will use around 4,000 tons of salt and sand on the city's 161 miles of road, according to a city brochure. Generally, residents are responsibly for shoveling their own sidewalks and driveways.

A Beverly city ordinance forbids people from shoveling snow from their properties onto the street or sidewalk.

• East Lothrop and Hale Streets
